Taylor Swift ripped into talent manager Scooter Braun on Sunday, saying his acquisition of Big Machine Records — and, therefore, the rights to her music catalog up to 2017’s “Reputation” — left her “sad and grossed out.”
“I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years,” Swift posted on Tumblr.
“[He] has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.”
